Cetuximab and Carboplatin in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian Epithelial Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Ovarian Cancer
Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00086892
Lead Sponsor
Gynecologic Oncology Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as cetuximab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as carboplatin work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining cetuximab with carboplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving cetuximab together with carboplatin works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the antitumor activity of cetuximab and carboplatin in patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer.

* Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1 hour (over 2 hours on day 1 of course 1 only) on days 1, 8 , and 15. Patients also receive carboplatin IV after cetuximab administration on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-65 patients will be accrued for this study.
